Muskogee Cimeter

The Muskogee Cimeter. "THE SPRINGFIELD HORROR" Vol 7 On Saturday night just before the church bells began to sound the tones for Easter there was perpetrated in the city of Springfield, Mo., one of the most hideous crimes that ever disgraced the records of that commonwealth, the lynching and burning of three human beings who had committed no crime except that God in his wisdom had painted their skins black. and this, too, in a metropolitan city where churches and school houses are found at ever turn. The Christian joined hands with the ignorant barbarian in their thirst for human blood and the officers of the law stood still and winked at the open violation of the law they had sworn to support. The time has come that the American negro must fight his own battles If he must die let him die nike a man, not like a dog. It is far better to die in the ditch with your face to the foe battling for the right than to be chained to the Goddess of liberty It is to be sadly reretted that publis sentiment should be incensed unjustly against one ofour strongest men in pulic service. We believe that thehe is no better qualified individual who could fill the position of principal of our public schools than Prof. H. N. Johnson. eH has always demonstrated his intellectual capabilities in the class room and upon the plat form when called under to represent the higher ideals of life. Let us quit ourselves like men and recognize true merit in our men who stand in the public eye.—Searchlight. From the orthography and general makeup of the above article it shows the old man is a competent judge. At last old man Gordon has shown his cloven hoof. The above is taken from the Searchlight, errors included. It is an awful reflection upon our people to say we have no better qualified men than such an individual Poor old Gordon always brings up the rear. The defense (and God knows the individual needs it) should have come sooner and before the subject had given up the ghost. The decent negroes are in favor of law and order, for that very reason they are asking that the loafers, blacklegs and street walkers be made Muskogee, I.T., Thursday, April 19, 1906. freat God, what a mockery uponliberty), and burned at the stake. Such outrages are becoming so common in this country that as we see it, the only remedy is to prepare to defend your firesides as best you can. There ought to be a gun, a good one, in every home and every inmate should be taught how to use it in protection of himself and should the time ever come that the devilish, brutish barbarians with the hellish mob spirit in their hearts (as was said by a lawyer here recently), attempt to carry it into practice, then prepare to go to Heaven, but take company along. Trust in God, but keep your powder dry. The time to prepare for war is in time of peace, and when grim-visaged war shows his ruffled face, then face the enemy and fight them "till hell freezes over and continue the battle on the ice. to get in houses or leave the town. As a rule when trouble starts between the races it generally has its origin among this class of worthless negroes who, when the storm comes, can easily fly to other climes as they have nothing in the way of property and hence nothing to lose. We call upon the good people of all races to help us rid our city of these parasites and thereby destroy the foundation for trouble among the races. Among the visitors to Muskogee last week was Mr. I. A. Toal, the photo maker of Warrior, Ala., and says that Muskoee is the finest located visiting the town of Red Bird which is high and dry and will be the garden spot of the Indian Territory, and do hereby invite all of my friends and readers to make this safe investment. Where there is good water and a high and healthy location and I can't but say this is the colored man's last chance, and do say to you my dear readers, make sure of this opportunity. I can further say that the Red Bird Investment company is certainly a friend to the negro that visits Red Bird. Come one, come all who would like to have their freedom. I am yours fraternal. I. A.

The Apollo Club's Post Lenten Party The closing society event of the pear occurred at Jones' Hall, Monday evening, April 16th. It was the Apollo club's Post Lenten party, about which the society dames and maidens of Muskogee have been in such high state of excitement during the past three weeks. The party was indeed an ex uisite event, if such it may be called. "Event" sounds too prosaic. It was rather an animated lyric, perfect in rhythm, consonance and rhyme. There were present guests from several of the large towns in the territory and some came from afar. Nothing was lacking to furbish the occasion. The art of the costumer was exhausted and old mother earth aided by all the devices known to botanical science was all but shorn of her rarest floral offerings. Precisely at 9 o'clock Dr. A. C. Briscoe with Miss Nell Glass upon his arm swung gracefully around the hall and took his place at the head of the handsomest column of thirty couples that were ever led through the amazing intricacies of the grand march. The program was long yet all too short. Each dance was joy and each joy was but a strain of one grand symphony of motion. Refreshments consisting of ices, cakes, fruits and candies were served throughout the evening. At two a. m. carriages were called and joyous murmerings mingled with soulful strains of harmony rippled softly away into memories and dreams. Some of those present and their costumes were: No 30 Mrs. George K. Davidson, white China silk over blue, blue baby ribbon, carnations. Mrs. Chas. Davis of Lee, I. T. cream silk, allover lace, white carnations. Mrs. T. J. Elliott, white silk accordion pleated, allover lace, American Beauties. Mrs. A. G. W.

Present and Future Value and Past Achievements the Subject of a Short Talk-The Discoverer of Coeur d'Alene Mines. "Halt, you busy people of this world and think of me for a while. I have been keeping my big ears open for years and years and I have listened to everything I have had a chance to hear and I think I have paid pretty courteous attention at that. I admit I am balky now and then, but what more could you expect from one who has been forced to listen all his life to the plaudits of every- GIVE ME YOUR ATTENTION body and everything else and very seldom ever hears anything commendatory of himself. Now, if you please, I should like your attention for a little while, so that I can sound some of my own praises and let you all know how important I really am." Thus spoke a mule. He had taken a position in front of a batch of animals at one of the stock yards trading marts and insisted on saying his say so forcibly that the owner gave way so long as the prospective purchaser refrained from kicking and the mule seemed as if he might cut up a little in that line himself. The mule then proceeded: "While the draft horse, carriage and saddle horses have their purpose, and perform them nobly and are in increasing demand, there is no doubt that in these prosperous times there is a great demand for animals like me. We are becoming more popular in places where a few years ago we were not used, and so the demand is increasing for us as work animals to take the place of horses. "The big public improvements call for more of us and the development of the south is taking more of us right along. The farmers who are in a position to raise a few of us each year cannot make any mistake by breeding us. "The mule has been tried in many ways and seldom found wonting. In addition to our wonderful powers of endurance we have shown both 四 patience and obedience, and we have borne our burden well under the most torrid conditions. "It costs about $35 to raise one of us ready for market, and find a ready sale at three years old if of good size, at prices ranging from $150 to $250 singly, and for good, matched pairs sales have taken place lately as high as $1,000 a pair. "The mule has been until lately essentially a Kentucky and Missouri product, but the breeders and farmers of the middle and western states have had their eyes opened to our value by the demand and quality required and purchased by the agents of the British government, who came over from the old sod, their pockets bulging with banknotes, and purchased everything in sight with long ears. "We rendered great railroad service in the Boer war and without us England never would have hushed the song of the Boer bullets, crushed the Boers and claimed the Transvaal. England should erect in perpetual memory a monument in gratitude for the services we have rendered. "Let me tell a story of the discovery of the famous Coeur d'Alene mines. They were discovered by pure luck. A man leant his mule to two prospectors. In the course of their wanderings the mule was tied to a tree, and, becoming impatient, pawed the ground and uncovered a lead vein, which is now the site of a famous mine. The owner of the mule sued for a third interest in the A LEAD MINE! claim and the courts granted it to him, stating that as the mule had made the discovery and that as he was its owner he was entitled to the mule's share. "The three owners sold their discovery for $500,000 any and nothing was too good for that mule for the rest of his days. He was exhibited in a private car and lived on the fat of the land and now a tombstone marks his grave. His harness hangs in a noted resort, where it is gazed upon with deepest reverence by the old-time prospectors. "Our importance never has been fully recognized, but lately agricultural shows in several states have hung out money for mule exhibits upon a plane equal to our importance and intrinsic value. "Thanking you, one and all, I am now ready to be sold."—Chicago News. A Novelty in Watch Dials.

Sunday-School Attendance Record. The four children of Mr. E. Hallworth, jeweler, of Great Harwood, England, have created a unique record by their remarkable attendance at the Congregational Sunday-school in that town, for a period totaling fifty-one years. There was only one solitary absence during that time, that being on account of illness. Alice Ann, the oldest daughter, aged twenty-one, has never missed for fifteen years, and Clara, aged eighteen. James, aged sixteen, and Archibald, aged thirteen, have respectively a record of twelve, thirteen, and eleven years' unbroken attendance. Paper Machines Work Rapidly.

Australia has adopted the system of drying milk. The milk is dried between steam rollers and sold as a powder, from which nothing but water has been extracted and to which nothing but water requires to be added to make wholesome, clean and sterile milk. A leading medical officer is reported to have said that the adoption of dried milk at some of the asylums for consumptive patients and in general hospitals has proved a success.

Hubby's Mild Protest Marked Passing of Honeymoon. "Angel of my life," said the bridegroom, after the happy couple had spent one week in their cozy little nest, "angel of my life, I feel I have the privilege of saying something to you that may even hurt your feelings, but that you will appreciate because it is spoken with the best of intentions." "Why, certainly, light of my existence. If there is anything you wish to say of that nature, I know that you realize that your trusting little wifey will understand the spirit in which it is said more than the words." "Well, I think you are simply bewitching when you preside over the chafing dish, but honestly I don't feel that I can go on eating welsh rarebits and such concoctions for breakfast, lunch and dinner all my life. Let's try boarding for a while." But she wept and refused to be comforted.—Chicago Tribune. No Clocks in Stores. It is an unwritten law in most London dry goods stores to show no clocks.

A WOMAN DOCTOR Was Quick to See That Coffee Poison Was Doing the Mischieef. A lady tells of a bad case of coffee poisoning and tells it in a way so simple and straightforward that literary skill could not improve it. "I had neuralgic headaches for 12 years," she says, "and have suffered untold agony. When I first began to have them I weighed 140 pounds, but they brought me down to 110. I went to many doctors and they gave me only temporary relief. So I suffered on, till one day in 1904, a woman doctor told me to drink Postum Food Coffee. She said I looked like I was coffee poisoned. "So I began to drink Postum and I gained 15 pounds in the first few weeks and am still gaining, but not so fast as at first. My headache began to leave me after I had used Postum about two weeks—long enough I expect to get the coffee poison out of my system. "Now that a few months have passed since I began to use Postum Food Coffee, I can gladly say that I never know what a neuralgic headache is like any more, and it was nothing but Postum that cured me. Before I used Postum I never went out alone; I would get bewildered and would not know which way to turn. Now I go alone and my head is as clear as a bell. By brain and nerves are stronger than they have been for years." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkga. FOR NERVOUS PEOPLE A Michigan Mother Preserved to Her Family by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. When the blood is impoverished the nerves starve and neuralgia or something more serious swiftly follows. Nervous people are generally pale people. By supplying through the blood those vital elements that the nerves need, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People have performed those remarkable cures that make it impossible for any nervous sufferer to neglect them. A recent case is that of Mrs. Peter Morrissette, of No. 315 Eleventh street, Alpena, Mich., who writes as follows: "My trouble started with childbirth. After one of my children was born I had a kind of paralysis. I was very weak and my mouth was a little crooked. I was always tired and was so nervous that I could not bear to hear a dog bark or a bell ring—even the little bird in its cage would annoy me. My heart fluttered a great deal and I had dizzy spells. I was not able to be left alone. "My doctor gave me different kinds of medicine, changing it several times. When it was evident that he could not help me he said he did not understand my case. This was three years ago and I was very much discouraged, when my brother, who had taken Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, recommended them to me. I tried them and noticed a change for the better when I was taking the second box. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cured me and I have been well ever since. I now do all my own housework, sewing and washing for seven of us." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have also cured diseases caused by impure or impoverished blood such as rheumatism, anemia and after-effects of the grip. All druggists sell Dr. Williams' Pink Pills or the remedy will be mailed, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes for $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.

Standing out in bold relief, all alone, and as a conspicuous example of open, frank and honest dealing with the sick and afflicted, are Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for weak, over-worked, debilitated, nervous. "run-down," painracked women, and Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the famous remedy for weak stomach, indigestion, or dyspepsia, torpid liver, or biliousness, all catarrhal affections, whether of the stomach, bowels, kidneys, bladder, nasal passages, throat, bronchia, or other mucous passages, also as an effective remedy for all diseases arising from thin, watery or impure blood, as scrofulous and skin affections. Each bottle of the above medicines bears upon its wrapper a badge of honesty in the full list of ingredients composing it - printed in plain English. This frank and open publicity places these medicines in a class all by themselves, and is the best guaranty of their merits. They cannot be classed as patent nor secret medicines for they are neither - being of known composition. Dr. Pierce feels that he can afford to take the afflicted into his full confidence and lay all the ingredients of his medicines freely before them because these ingredients are such as are endorsed and most strongly praised by scores of the most eminent medical writers as cures for the diseases for which these medicines are recommended. Therefore, the afflicted do not have to rely alone upon Dr. Pierce's recommendation as to the curative value of his medicines for certain easily recognized diseases. A glance at the printed formula on each bottle will show that no alcohol and no harmful or habit-forming drugs enter into Dr. Pierce's medicines, they being wholly compounded of glyceric extracts of the roots of native, American forest plants. These are best and safest for the cure of most lingering, chronic diseases. Dr. R. V. Pierce can be consulted FREE, by addressing him at Buffalo, N. Y., and all communications are regarded as sacredly confidential. It is as easy to be well as ill—and much more comfortable. Constipation is the cause of many forms of illness.

The blue mark on your paper means subscription out and paper starts at once. A mob is a blamed cowardly outfit and every one who participates therein is a coward and a murderer. A sheriff who permits a mob to take a prisoner from his custody without resisting to the better end is a coward and should resign his place. The immoral political mountebank preacher should keep out of our line of fire. We have another card to play. Old man Gordon has not denied a single charge made against the individual. If they are not true, say so, and produce your proof. We don't believe in upholding criminals. We believe they should be punished according to law. A black criminal is now orse than a white one, they should both receive the same treatment, that is, given a fair trial. To the victor belongs the spoils. The rank and file elect the officers because they are republican and then the appointments should go to the rank and file who are republican. In no other way can the rank and file be held together. Some years ago we knew a Texas sheriff who rode through a mob of fire eaters with a negro prisoner at his side. He informed the mob that they could only take the prisoner over his dead body. He was a brave man and would have died fighting. This the cowards knew and rather than go to h---- they kept off. Negroes who will stand idly by and allow a mob to burn a prisoner are not worth their room in h. Twenty courageous, determined men can put any mobto flight. A little solid shot is very soothing to the hot blood of the law breakers. We say to the republican officials who have just assumed power that if you would build up the party and win victories in the future you must do right regardless of what the democratic party or individual may do or say. Do you see our meaning? We asked for bread and got a stone. That's pretty blamed tough but we can stand it for a while. Can it be that the democrats are going to dictate to the republicans just what they shall do? The Curtis bill has passed and that is some help to the struggling citizens of the United States in these low grounds of sorrow. If we can get statehood now there will be something doing in the B. I. T. We are still doing business at the old stand in spite of the threats of the immoral hell-hounds and their co-adjutators. We are fighting $ \sigma $ for the race and we ebelieve the interests of our children is paramount to that of the whole gang of immoral cutthroats. The position of Liftum Dungi has been elevated and a new name given. Yet a rose would smell just as sweet if called onion and the lucious onion would still bedew the cheeks with tears if called rose. The republican party can win in this county if the local city machine will build up the party. This they can do by doing right. The boys in the trenches are as true as steel if given a "square deal." The white grafters are trying to hide behind the grand jurv and use the negro as a shield. They are now claiming that some negroes are getting power of attorney after they, the grafters buy the land. The truth is the grafter gets a forged deed and when he goes to sell finds that in some cases the freedman has had the forethought to have some one of his race acting for him as attorney and Mr. Grafter gets left. The threats of using the grand jury to help them rob the people is an old game. The combine have declared that the Cimeter must quit or bow down to them and in great glee they repart that they have laid the case before the postmaster general at Washington so things are fixed. All we have to say is we'll be if we bow down to the immoral teacher, the libertine preacher, the lewd element of men and women against whom our fight is and has been. All the force this immoral outfit can bring to bear won't stop the Cimeter. Even attempted assassination has failed to work because Providence always steps in to protect the right. It seems to us that every time there is a lynching or burning that there immediately follows a disactrous cyclone of an earthquake in which thousands of lives are lost and millions of money and all of this brings us in our deep despondency tosay, "God moves in mysterious ways His wonders to perform." He plants his foot steps on the sea and rides upon the storm." Negro men who will condescend to associate with negro women who seek social equality with white men only at night, deserve to have their hads cracked. This class of negroes are the ones that are making times hard for the race in certain sections of the country.—Appreciator.

Londoners Getting Stately. The social trend of the times in London is toward a return to old-fashioned stateliness. During last year girls were given the same good time that they had in the '60's and '70's, smart women no longer rule the world and "new rich" entertainers have given place to hostesses of the aristocracy. The return of the chaperone means the disappearance of "hooligan" girls. There has been a falling off in the matter of private concerts and the craze for fancy balls seems to be a thing of the past. Holy Name Society. The letters of H. N. S. stand for Holy Name Society, an organization in the Roman Catholic church, the purpose of which is to teach reverence for the name of God. In several eastern cities these societies have been holding large parades to protest against blasphemy. In some parades as many as 30,000 men marched. Physical Effect. "It broadens one's horizon, so to speak, does it not," inquired the man who was studying municipal conditions, "to serve the city in the capacity of alderman?" "I don't know about that," answered the other man; "but I have noticed that it generally broadens his equator."—Chicago Tribune. Ineffective Serum. At the annual meeting of the Cancer hospital, London, the chairman of the medical committee stated that as a result of a visit to Paris by members of the surgical and pathological staffs, on invitation of Dr. Doyen, it could be stated that his serum was ineffective for the cure of cancer. Converting Cannibals. From the depths of the jungles inhabited by cannibals Bishop Augouard writes that "missionaries are transforming the ferocious Bondjos, ravening wolves, into lambs. The expression 'ravening wolves' is not used as a figure of speech; the term expresses a startling truth." Centenarians Married. The marriage has just taken place of a centenarian couple at Maysville, O. The bridegroom is Capt. Kuhns, aged 101, a veteran of the Mexican and cavil wars, while the bride, Mrs. Sarah Crawford, has just passed her hundredth birthday. Their courtship commenced 70 years ago. Prefers the Money. "Why is it," said the young man with long hair, "that the average woman would rather marry money than brains?" "She takes less chance," answered Miss Cayenne. "The average woman is a better judge of money than she is of brains."—Washington Star. Wall-Coverings. Wall paper does not hang, and yet the person whose business it is to paste it up is called a paper-hanger. The reason is simple. Long before the introduction of wall papers tapestries were used as wall coverings, the men who put them up being called hangers. Not Far to Seek. A prominent Christian worker went to Mr. Jacob Riis and told him that he and his family wished a family of foreigners to look after. Mr. Riis found him such a family, and it was a Norwegian woman who, for years, had been scrubbing the Christian's office. REALLY GOOD JOKES READ THESE AND FORGET YOUR DYSPEPSIA.

Miss Brightley—I begin to realize that I'm getting old and homely. Miss Ascum—Nonsense! What makes you say that? Miss Brightley—Oh, there's no doubt of it. Three brides-to-be have asked me to be their bridesmaid. Consideration. "Are you one of the taxpayers of Crimson Gulch?" asked the tourist. "No, sir," answered Bronco Bob. "Crimson Gulch don't have any taxes. We're a peaceable community and we don't ask any man to risk his life by actin' as assessor." Discipline. A man in a coat and hat is talking to a man in a suit and hat. "What's the use of backing down? If my wife wouldn't let me have a night latch key I'd take it by force!" "Why, I tried to do that once, and for four weeks she wouldn't let me leave the house!"—Fliegende Blaetter. A Cinch. "Do you think I could get your chum to marry me?" "She detests you, but you can get her if you work it right." "Tell me how." "Pretend to be dead in love with me, and I will pretend that I am crazy about you." Needed Her. Clarence—Miss Sharpun has brains enough for two, bah Jove! Florence—Then why don't you marry her, Clarence? Suffered Severely With Eczema All Over Body-A Thousand Thanks "For over thirty-five years I was a severe sufferer from eczema. The eruption was not confined to any one place. It was all over my body, limbs, and even on my head. I am sixty years old and an old soldier, and have been examined by the Government Board over fifteen times, and they said there was no cure for me. I have taken all kinds of medicine and have spent large sums of money for doctors, without avail. A short time ago I decided to try the Cuticura Remedies, and after using two cakes of Cuticura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura Ointment, and two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent, two treatments in all, I am now well and completely cured. A thousand thanks to Cuticura. I cannot speak too highly of the Cuticura Remedies. John T. Roach, Richmondale, Ross Co., Ohio, July 17, 1905." Spoil the Girl. The more men fall in love with a girl the bigger her danger of becoming an old maid while she is trying to make her choice.—N. Y. Press. Has to Be Cited.

For twenty years I have been unable to find anything better myself. H. H. Ward, Rayville, La. Both big and little hats are seen, but none of medium size. You always get full value in Lewis' Single Binder straight 5c cigar. You dealer or Lewis' Factory, Peoria, Ill. Sir Walter Scott had a habit of equipping his chapters with quotations of his own fabrication. On one occasion Scott happened to ask John Ballantyne, who was sitting with him, to hunt up a particular passage in Beaumont and Fletcher. Scott's patience became exhausted and he exclaimed, "Hang it all. I can make a motto sooner than you can find one." And he did, and the habit grew.—London Chronicle. Snakes and Their Food. Most particular as to their foods, snakes eat only that which they kill, and they judge of the fitness of their food by its motion, taking nothing which does not move swiftly. Field mice and birds are dainties they especially covet, and in hunting and capturing them they display the guile and cunning which the scriptures attribute to them. Honey in the Household. Honey makes an excellent gargle for sore throat. Boll one teaspoonful of honey in a cup of soft water and gargle freely. This same preparation also makes an excellent eye wash. Dip a clean piece of linen in the honey water and lay over the eyes.

AND CONSIDER THE ALL- IMPORTANT FACT That in addressing Mrs. Pinkham you are confiding your private ills to a woman a woman whose experience with women's diseases covers a great many years. Mrs. Pinkham is the daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, and for many years underherdirection, and since her decease,she has been advising sick women free of charge. Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse, knowing full well that they ought to have immediate assistance, but a natural modesty impels them to shrink from exposing themselves to the questions and probable examinations of even their family physician. It is unnecessary. Without money or price you can consult a woman whose knowledge from actual experience is great. Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation. Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women only. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to a woman; thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge that will help your case. She asks nothing in return except your good-will, and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance. If you are ill, don't hesitate to get a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once, and write Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn. Mass., for special advice. When a medicine has been successful in restoring to health so many women, you cannot well say, without trying it, "I do not believe it will help me." W. L: DOUGLAS $3.50 & $3.00 SHOES FOR MEN W. L.

HORSES AND THE AUTO BLESS THE DUMB WORKERS ORATORY DID NOT CHARM I drive both a horse and an auto and have had ample opportunity to view the horse scaring question from the viewpoint of both the farmer and the automobile owner. I believe that any horse can by a few trials be trained to pass an automobile quietly. I possessed a horse that was frantically afraid of an auto the first few times he met it. Like all horses unaccustomed to the machines he shied from the strange thing because he thought it would hurt him. It is doubtful if any horse shies or scares at a thing just to be mean. If a horse has any life in him he will shy from any object on the road that is strange to him. Especially is this true of colts, and one that will not do it is hardly worth breaking. In my case I led the horse up quietly to a machine that was drawn up to one side of the road. He snorted and pranced frantically at first, but was gradually persuaded to approach close enough to touch his nose to the seat. Then the motor was started and the horse held close to the vibrating machine. He soon learned that it was a harmless thing, and he now passes an auto on the road with The old custom of blessing the horses on St. Anthony's day is still kept up in some parts of Switzerland and at a place called Grimde, in Belgium. The peasants firmly hold the idea that the blessing is very necessary to keep their horses strong and well, and to preserve them from harm during the coming year. A writer in Little Folks, after witnessing the ceremony, says that as noon approached every one was on the tiptoe of expectation, and great were the preparations going on inside the church. At length, about half-past twelve, a procession left the building headed by the chief priest, followed by other priests in gorgeous gold-embroidered vestments, bearing the Host beneath a golden canopy and a number of consecrated banners. The little band paused outside the churchyard in order to allow the horses and their riders plenty of time to fall in behind, and the long procession made its way slowly upward toward the center of a big field, where a couple of red flags waved in the breeze; here the This story is told of Congressman Foster of Vermont, who, during the McKinley campaign, was called upon to speak before a gathering of Italians. He protested, but this had been assigned for him to do, so he looked up Italian history and got a few pointers about one of their prominent men which he proposed to bring into his address by comparing him with McKinley, and thus make it more interesting for his listeners. Thus encouraged, he went to the hall. He found an insignificant looking Italian, who could talk English, in charge of the meeting. This man spoke briefly to the audience in his own tongue, and then introduced the congressman. During Foster's speech they encored him and cheered for McKinley at just the right time, which surprised Foster, because he had no idea they understood him well enough for that. Tea Leaves Used Twice. "There are some men," said a health officer, "who buy from hotels all their used tea leaves. These they dry and put on the market again as fresh tea. "As a matter of fact there is still a good deal of very strong tea—plus a good deal of tannin—in those used leaves. They make as black and bitter a brew as the greatest tea fiend would want to drink. But such a brew but a pricking of his ears and a look of disdain, as he believes it hardly worth the attention of a sensible horse. While driving my machine I have met all sorts of people on the road, and fully three-fourths of them have trouble in passing with their teams. The whole trouble lies in the people being more frightened than the animals. Men begin yelling, women screech, and the horses at once conclude that the automobile is going to hurt them. I have met farmers, who on seeing the machine approach would hurriedly blindfold their horses that they might not see the puffing monster pass. After such an experience it would be a difficult matter to drive that team by a car without serious trouble. Others begin applying the whip when their team shies and the next time the horses are afraid of both the automobile and the whip. Be gentle, be cool, be patient when you meet an automobile with your fractious horse. The "chug chug" wagon is here to stay, and we may as well begin early to accustom the colt to it, just as we had to do with the bicycle and the locomotive.—Farm and Home. chief priest was to take up his stand and pronounce the blessing. The group of priests formed a brilliant center, the sunshine streamed on their rich clothing, on the golden canopy, and on the colored banners, offering a striking contrast to the somber dresses of the surrounding peasants. The horses and their riders formed an immense outer circle. There was a hush of expectation, and then the short service commenced. Amid the swinging of incense the chief priest solemnly took the Host from beneath its canopy, and facing toward the horses on the east, raised it aloft and then slowly pronounced St. Anthony's benediction, while the men reverently uncovered and all bowed the head. A little bell tinkled; again the Host was raised, the priest faced the horses on the north and pronounced the blessing; the same was done as he faced the horses on the south and west. In a few minutes the jingling of harness, the neigh of a horse, the movement of the dense crowd broke the spell, and showed that the ceremony was over. He was quite enthusiastic over his success and prolonged his speech nearly an hour. After it was over he turned to the man in charge, who had taken a seat back of him, and spoke to him about the interest they had manifested in his speech, the intelligence they had shown, etc. "Humph!" the Italian said, "they no understand. Speech no worth d—n to them." "Why," Foster said, a little taken back, "they encored and cheered for McKinley and seemed very interested." "Oh, yes," was the Italian's reply, "but dat was me. I get up and tellie them after you come when I put up one finger to clap de han'; two finger, clap de han' and stomp de feet, and three finger, clap de han', stomp de feet and holler McKiniley, McKiniley, lika hellee." is unwholesome, for the percentage of tannin in it is much larger than in an ordinary cup of tea. "Used tea leaves are very easily made to resemble fresh ones. They are dried on hot iron plates, the heat of which curls them up nicely, giving them a very natural appearance. "A cup of this second-table tea refreshes you tremendously, but afterward your mouth is drawn up as if you had been sucking alum." How to Succeed.

Boynton Items As the Cimeteter has published no Boynton news this month, some of this may appear stale.

Alston on the board of education. There were three tickets in the field. When the smoke of the battle of ballots cleared away, there was a fistic battle between Mayor J. A.
